From Bill Irwin Optionally back priviled processes' shm with hugetlbfs. One of the more common requests for and/or users of hugetlb interfaces in general are databases using shm. This patch exports functionality mostly equivalent to tmpfs, adds the calling sequence to ipc/shm.c, and hashes out a small support function in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c so that shm segments may be hugetlbpage-backed if userspace passes a flag to shmget(). Access to this resource requires CAP_IPC_LOCK.
